Fans have watched over the years as Ye and North navigate life in the public eye, balancing fame, family, and their creative pursuits.

North West once said the ‘best day’ of her life was with Kanye ‘Ye’ West in Italy

Kanye “Ye” West has a close bond with his eldest daughter, North West. He has publicly spoken about advising her to protect her siblings and safeguard their family legacy. In interviews, Ye has described North as his “greatest inspiration,” stating that she often revives his own passion for music, according to E! News. Their connection is also woven into his art. Meanwhile, North has echoed that bond by embracing her dad’s creative legacy. In an interview with i‑D magazine, she expressed her love for performing and revealed ambitions inspired by him.

In October 2024, Kim Kardashian interviewed her daughter for Interview Magazine. Kardashian asked North about the “best day” of her life — and North was reminded of a day out with her father.

“Maybe in Italy with Dad,” North responded to the question. “It was just us and my siblings, and that’s when I really brought them close to God, because we had this house and there was these devil statues, and I was like, ‘Mm-mm, mm-mm, no, girl.’ I was like, ‘We got to pray.’ So, then I taught Chi and Psalm and Saint how to pray. God really did his thing after.”

Kim Kardashian officially filed for divorce from Kanye “Ye” West on Feb. 19, 2021, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly seven years of marriage. Their split was officially settled on Nov. 29, 2022, when they reached a divorce agreement. Ye agreed to pay $200,000 a month in child support and share joint custody of their four children. He also agreed to contribute equally to their children’s educational and security expenses. In March 2022, a judge declared Kardashian legally single. She dropped the “West” from her name.

While speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast in October 2025, Kardashian revealed that her and Ye’s four kids haven’t heard from him in months.

“Whenever he’ll call for them and ask, it’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him,” the reality star revealed.

“They always knew that he had a big life traveling before and was always on tour and all of that,” she continued, “and that he lives in different countries all the time and loves to live all over the place. So, you know, we manage it really well.” 

Kanye ‘Ye’ West thinks North West will follow in his footsteps to be the ‘greatest’ talent ever

While in conversation with Justin LaBoy, Kanye “Ye” West revealed that he has high hopes for daughter North West. He feels confident that his eldest will follow in his footsteps as a great talent.

“I was always into the idea of having a school,” Ye said. “Both my mom and my dad were professional teachers, so that makes me a natural teacher in my blood. I’m just thinking how her album’s gonna be. How insane, like, everything that I learned, that I could have it flow through her also. And for her to become the next frontier. Because we’re like the kings in Africa or something, where it’s just passed down. I’m the hands-down greatest. She’s gonna be the hands-down greatest.”
